听力原文: President Bush has strongly denounced photos showing the humiliating treatment of some prisoners by American soldiers in Iraq. The president told Arabic language television the actions are abhorrent and Americans are just as appalled about the incident as Ireqis.
The Bush administration spent another day Wednesday trying to contain the damage caused by the abuse, which the Army said may not have been an isolated incident. "It's a matter that reflects badly on my country," he said.
President Bush, appearing on the Duhai-based al-Arabiya television, expressing sorrow, but no apology, for the photographs of naked Iraqi prisoners being forced to simulate sex acts as smiling American soldiers looked on. "The practices that took place in that prison are abhorrent and they don't represent America," he said.
It is far from certain whether his comments can stem what has been a tide of Arab anger over the abuse that has led to criminal charges against six American soldiers and reprimands against at least six more. David Gergen served as a communications advisor to four American presidents.

But indeed, in looking through the history of costume, seeking an answer to the questions we have propounded, we find there is little that is either beautiful or appropriate. One of the earliest forms is the Greek drapery which is exquisite for young girls. And then, I think we may be pardoned a little enthusiasm over the dress of the time of Charles I., beautiful indeed. And the dress for the children of that time must not be passed over. It was a very golden age of the little ones. I do not think that they have ever looked so lovely as they do in the pictures of that time. The dress of the last century in England is also peculiarly gracious and graceful, full' of harmony and beauty- In these days, when we have suffered dreadfully from the incursions of the modern milliner, we hear ladies boast that they do not wear a dress more than once. In the old days, when the dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment and wearing it many times and banding it down to their daughter--a process that would, I think, be quite appreciated by a modem husband when called upon to settle his wife's bills.
And how shall men dress? Men say that they do not particularly care how they dress, and that it is little matter. I am bound to reply that I do not think that you do. In all my journeys through the country, the only well-dressed men that I saw--I earnestly deprecate the polished indignation of your Fifth Avenue dandies--were the Western miners. Their wide-brimmed hats, which shaded their faces from the sun and protected them from the rain, and the cloak, which is by far the most beautiful piece of drapery ever invented, may well be dwelt on with admiration. Their high boots, too, were sensible and practical. They wore only what was comfortable, and therefore beautiful. As I looked at them I could not help thinking with regret' of the time when these picturesque miners would have made their fortunes and would go East to assume again all the abominations of modern fashionable attire. Indeed, so concerned was I that I made some of them promise that when they again appeared in the more crowded scenes of Eastern civilization they would still continue to wear their lovely costume.

A. it is harder to choose nice dress for men than for women
B. historical costume was neither beautiful nor appropriate
